OBJECTIVE OF WORK

• Using the theories given in my reference journals I studied about the

comparative analysis using different grades of concrete and steel.
• With variation of % of steel compute the nominal depth required for a
RCC section.
• With variation of grade of steel and concrete we select a combination
which is most economical and satisfy the serviceability criteria.
HIGH STRENGHT CONCRETE

• High-strength concrete has a compressive Strength greater than 40 MPa.

• High strength concrete is made by lowering the Water cement (W/C) ratio to 0.35
or lower.
 Materials for High-Strength Concrete
• Almost any ASTM Portland cement type can be used to obtain concrete with
compressive strength up to 60 MPa.
• In order to obtain higher strength mixtures while maintaining good workability, it
is necessary to study carefully the cement composition and fineness.
GUIDELINES FOR THE SELECTION OF MATERIALS

• The higher the targeted compressive strength,the smaller the

maximum size of coarse aggregate.
• Up to 70 Mpa compressive strength can be produced with a good
coarse aggregate of a maximum size ranging from 20 to 28 mm.
• To produce 100 Mpa compressive strength aggregate with a
maximum size of 10 to 20 mm should be used.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NSC AND HSC

• In normal strength concrete, the microcracks form when the compressive

• stress reaches ~ 40% of the strength. The cracks interconnect when the stress
reaches 80-90% of the strength
• The fracture surface in NSC is rough. The fracture develops along the transition
zone between the matrix and aggregates. Fewer aggregate particles are broken.
• The fracture surface in HSC is smooth.
IMPORTANT CHARACTERISTICS OF REBARS
• The characteristics which determines the criteria of a good rebar are-
• Good strength for economic design of RCC structure.
• Good Gripping with concrete i.e. Good bonding.
• Thermal Expansion characteristics compatible with concrete.
• Good ductility to withstand cylic loading (For example earthquake
loading) or Impact.
• Good bendability
• Good weldability
STRESS STRAIN CURVE FOR MS CDT & TMT BAR
What are the modification from IS
1786(1985) to IS 1786(2008)
• The physical and chemical composition of Fe415, Fe500, Fe550
almost remain unchanged , expect elongation % for Fe550 has been
increased to 10% from 8%.
• A new grade of higher strength rebar , Fe600 has been introduced.
• Over three grades Fe415, Fe500 &Fe550 the superior category
Fe415D,Fe500D & Fe550D have been introduced.
• The yield strength of all grades are same but superior garde have
increased elongation and tensile strength.
DESIGN GUIDELINE FOR THE USE OF
HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE
• Cover for durability
• Cover as fire protection
• Flexural design
• Shear
• Deflection
• Column design
• Minimum reinforcement
• Size and pitch of links in columns
• Bond and anchorage
• Shrinkage
• Creep
ADVANTAGES

• Reduction in size of compression member.

• Reduction in the amount of longitudinal reinforcement required for
compression member.
• Reduction in the time for removal of formwork and propping.
• Reduction in deflection of beams and slabs.
• Increase in elastic modulus.
• Reduction in creep and shrinkage.
• Increase in bond with reinforcement.
• Allows in reduction in cover to reinforcement.
